Damian Marley - Is It Worth It? (Gunman World) Lyrics

Two sides to a coin
The one must choose which side they join
You know? Brother-man
Yeah
And meanwhile, one man meal is another man poison
Mankind will do what they must to survive, innit?
Hear me now

In a gunman world
Any night him clock in at work
Marrow splatter, the toolbox pull
The magazine inna the two glock full
And he's watching as the days go by
And he's counting as his peers all die
Sleeping with the rifle 'cross his chest
So, he never gets a good night's rest
And then he's cranky in the morning times
And more victims have to lose their lives
The community a-twist and twirl
Sing that they wasn't in a gunman world

In a gunman life
He might not come home from work one night
So every minute matter, ignores advice
From his weeping baby mother and child
That he won't win every game he plays
So, she know he'll meet his end one day
Some juvenile will have to earn his stripe
And have to take another gunman's life
What if a backstabber names his price?
And how ironic if him dead from knife
The 'mount of bullet weh him put 'pon boy
Job description, "kill and destroy"

Now, tell me is it worth it all
If one don rise, then a next must fall?
Tell me, is it worth it all
Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call?
Tell me, is it worth it all?
One child smile, while a next one bawl
Tell me, is it worth it?
Is it worth it? Is it worth it all?

Well, in a gunman world
Life is so stressful
Back to school time come
'Cause when a gunman work
If he is successful
And the job is well done
Then, there will be an unsolved crime
With no one to fill out all blank line
John public haffi hear and deaf
Informer get a kuff, kaff, kweff
Does he get nervous just like you and I
Watching out if the police pass by?
'Cause any day you hear a gunman fail
Then, it's either dead house or jail
What will it cost to make a gunman rich?
How many lives before a gunman switch?
The truth mi want the youth dem stop ignore
Say the majority of gunman poor, oya, whoa

'Cause tell me, is it worth it all
If one don rise, then a next one fall?
Tell me, is it worth it all
Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call?
Tell me, is it worth it all?
One child smile, while a next one bawl
Tell me, is it worth it?
Is it worth it? Is it worth it all?

And when a gunman makes choice
I wonder what goes through a gunman's mind
And does a gunman think twice
Before him takes another someone's life?
I wonder what it is a gunman say
To the father when a gunman pray
Does he kiss his kids to bed at night
Making sure the blanket tucked just right?
Nothing no scary like a gunman voice
When people beg a gunman think twice
And him say no

What coulda scary like a gunman voice
When people beg a gunman think twice?
And him say no

Can you tell me, is it worth it all
If one don rise, then a next must fall?
Tell me, is it worth it all
Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call?
Tell me, is it worth it all?
One child smile while a next one bawl
Tell me, is it worth it?
Is it worth it? Is it worth it all?
